Miss Jamaica World Shanique Singh took center stage as the guest speaker at Kingston High School, marking a significant moment in the Rotaract Club of Kingston's "Empowered to Flow...Period" Campaign. This initiative, now entering Phase 2, aims to tackle period poverty by installing "period" or sanitary napkin dispensers in three high schools across Kingston, benefiting approximately 1200 girls.
Singh's presentation resonated deeply with the audience as she delved into the physical and emotional impacts of period poverty. Her impassioned speech shed light on the challenges faced by young girls who lack access to menstrual hygiene products, emphasizing the importance of addressing this issue with empathy and understanding.
Central to Singh's message was her "Beauty with a Purpose" campaign, which focuses on promoting Period Positivity. By breaking down stigmas surrounding menstruation and advocating for access to menstrual hygiene resources, Singh aims to empower young girls to embrace their periods with confidence and dignity.
Through her advocacy and dedication to making a difference, Miss Jamaica World Shanique Singh continues to inspire positive change in her community, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of young girls across Jamaica.
